Happy Monday, Birmingham! It’s that time of the week when we bring you the recent buzzy, positive happenings from around the city. Read on to learn about Ghost Train Brewing’s BIG announcement, news on Riverchase Galleria’s redevelopment, new openings and more.
Ghost Train Brewing leaving original location; NEW Uproot Brewing coming late 2022
What’s happening: You know what they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Ghost Train Brewing announced that they’re leaving their 3rd Avenue South location to focus on their new location at the M2 development. The good news? Uproot Brewing is taking its place.
Why it matters: Ghost Train has been operating out of its 3rd Avenue South location since 2016. Uproot Brewing, a new brewpub and kitchen concept from Nate Darnell, head brewer at Ferus Artisan Ales, will be taking over the location in early fall 2022. Stay tuned for updates, including a Ghost Train and Uproot collaboration party.
Riverchase Galleria will become a mixed-use development with a healthcare facility
What’s happening: The City of Hoover announced redevelopment plans to turn Riverchase Galleria into a mixed-use space, including a healthcare facility as part of a six-year development plan for the City. The goal? To appeal to consumers by hosting different businesses (food, residential dwellings, retail, etc.) all in one spot.
Why it matters: This plan will not only help fill up empty spaces within the shopping center but introduce long-lasting business, like a healthcare facility, to the space as well. There is no set timeline for the project, but expect announcements soon from Hoover city leaders.
